Mav, I've heard 2 versions of that story before, this makes 3. I'm not sure I'd want to be near Cabo or Cancun anyway. Too many turistas. I was actually thinking around Monterrey or Jalisco areas. Just far enough across the border you miss all the hoopla, but still somewhat civilized and the weather is very nice year round.
I still kick myself for not buying the house we looked at in Ocho Rios, Jamaica back in '99. I could have bought that estate for $50,000 USD (cheap) but I wasn't ready to sell out back then. The house was awesome, had about 15 acres of land and Mick Jagger owned an estate less than a mile down the road (considerably bigger than the one we looked at).
Oh, another reason I want to move? Today I get a delenquent tax statement for $400 on some mineral properties I own. Seems they "forgot" to mail me a bill on that, but I owe the penalty and interest anyway. I tried to explain to him I paid ALL my taxes on the same day and even asked the clerk to look to make sure all my accounts were paid.
The tax guy actually got pissed at me for asking them to waive the P & I. "Well that's tough, but
we don't do that."
